Im not sure how many if ANY of you have any experience with DOS...

Basicly I have this program that will convert or read files from one type to another. The one type is DOS, the other is unkown but this program is the correct program for use (Came from machine mfg).

Anyhow I tired to install said program into DOS 6. Everytime I try to run the .exe it says Uniform.sys is not installed on this system. I took the uniform.sys file and pasted it inside every folder on windows and under c:... nothing...

Talking to a guy the does conversions and knows this software only netted me this clue:

Something about changing the autoexec.bat file to reflect the unifor software?

Way beyone my computer experience/knowledge...

HELP

in the root folder, edit autoexec.bat using notepad or EDIT command in DOS
add this line:
PATH=C:\TEMP
then put uniform.sys in the \temp\ folder
path can = any folder you want to use. that was just a sample
I believe most of the DOS external commands are held in the \Program Files\ folder though, not \Windows\
probably in \Common Files

reformat, install dual boot with win98 se as first install using fat 32 then install win xp on top of that. No more problems. DOS OWNS JOO ALL.

heh...DOS....

I run an old thinkpad pent 2 300 for my dos needs. Mostly old games and the such. well worth its weight in gold.
